Shelly Vigesaa  -  Open Windows Explorer Click "Tools" and "Folder Options" Click on tab called "File Types" Scroll down till you see "PDF" "Adobe Acrobat Document" and click on it. On the bottom half of that window you'll see "Details for "PDF" extension" Opens With "E" Internet Explorer. Click the Change button and select Acrobat Reader 5.05 click "OK".  If it's not there click browse and find it. However if it's not an option in the first window you may have other issues. 

Then click on the "Advanced" button. Make sure "confirm open after download" is not checked. 

Then Open Acrobat Reader and click "EDIT", "Preferences" and make sure "Display PDF in Browser" is NOT checked. 

Also read my previous message # 78 for other options.  Changing the Open With on a file will not work for all files with that extension. You have to do a global change for all files with that extension.  

Hope that helps. Don
